Pc randomly restarts

[Sugar gay]

I dunno if anyone can help me out but I recently built my pc 2 months ago it has a 500w be quiet psu and a used Rx 580 in it, when I just built it my game froze for a few seconds and then came back. One Night I left my pc to download some games and when I came back every game I played ran at 20 fps. I reset my pc and that seemed to take Care of the fps but my games still frozet. Fast foward a bit and I accidently left my pc on for a whole week idle whilst I was on holiday. After that it kept on restarting when I played games, my graphics card was blinking and making a funny noise so I thought it was to do with that so I downgraded my driver and restarted the pc, no random restarts but I got random massive fps drops and freezes. I am very confused considering this is my first pc build, but I Think it might be the psu that is shorting the graphics card. I also have No onboard graphics since im using a Ryzen 5 2600.

 

here are my full Specs if it helps

 

Cpu

ryzen 5 2600

 

Gpu

used Rx 580

 

MOB

asrock x470 Master sli

 

Ram

2666mhz corsair vengance rgb pro ram

 

Psu

Be quiet pure power 10 500w 80+ silver non moduler

 

Case not that it matters 

 

Nzxt H500i

I've had similar behaviour in the past, it turned out to be cooling whereby every part in my case was getting cooked. Try taking off side panel and running it. Do some stresstests (cinebench, furmark etc) see what happens. I highly doubt a BeQuiet 80+ silver supply would give in, especially when its new.

 

Edit: check temps with side panel on while in game and that may also provide some insight. Use Hardware monitor to check temps.

I second that, it is most likely a cooling issue, in which case REALLY matters.

 

Do the following:

• Run a few benchmarks with your side panel on, use something like afterburner to check temps and see what they are like. (They are probably pretty bad if you're having freezes. If they are bad, then move forward.
  • If the temps aren't that bad, maybe it's a bad part, look for strange clocks on your CPU and GPU, especially the GPU is the GPU clock locked at a particular clock speed or showing some other strange behavior?
  • Try reseating the CPU in the socket and the GPU in the PCIe slot and see if that makes the system more stable.
• If the CPU and GPU were hot with the panel on, remove it and see how much of a difference you have, it should be significant, if after removing it your benchmarks and tests are running smoother and temps are down, you might need to look into some better case fan configurations.
• If you don't see great improvements, on either CPU or GPU check the following:
  • I believe the H500i has a PSU shroud, is your GPU on the lowest PCIe slot such that its fans are right up against the shroud? If so you are choking it, and it's not able to get air, bring it up to the top slot.
  • If your CPU is still hot, are the fans spinning up? What cooler do you have? If it's a beefy cooler but not giving you the performance you need remove the cooler and inspect how the thermal paste spread on the cold plate of the cooler and IHS on the CPU, if it looks like it didn't spread evenly then clean it up, redo it and mount the cooler again.
  • Sometimes the cooler may not have mounted properly the first time, a fresh coat of thermal goop and mounting would fix that. 

 

Try these steps and let me know if it worked out in the end. Also what is your fan configuration on the case.
